That mothers love their children and would do anything and everything within their capacity and even beyond leaves not a doubt in my mind.

Being a mother of three young children, I can say that I put my children’s needs before my own. The fact that I homeschool the two younger children for three years now and by tending personally to their needs made me take my career on a yield. Well, sort of, since I still work on a part time basis.

So when the news about the authorities getting Jason Ivler who was just hiding in their home for several weeks after being subjected to a manhunt, broke early morning yesterday, I was interested in what has happened.

The fact that he is wanted for not one but two homicides and that he opened fired at the authorities using armor piercing bullets shows how guilty he is.

The authorities got his mom too, Marlene Aguilar, an author (I removed the link to her website), who asked him to surrender and who even said she got an email from him and that he is in the USA when in fact he was just hiding in their home.

I would like to say I pretty much understand that Marlene loves his son dearly.

BUT I am assuming too that maybe, just maybe, she is afraid of her son too, knowing his capacity to hurt people.

The fact that he fired on authorities and wounded two of them using armor piercing bullets and that he used a baby armalite speak volumes on what he can do.

Would I do the same if one of my children gets involved in murder?

The answer is NO.

And I really hope to God we won’t have to go that way.
